Pick up line with both thumbs to the left (left hand palm up, right hand palm down). Rotate both wrists thumbs to the right. Left hand under of the right hand (knuckles now touching). Grab both top loops together with ledt hand with the right hand backing of the loop. It's a Clove Hitch ready to drop on a anchor. (Or "Thumbs to the left, thumbs to the right, left under the right". I came up with this trick while firefighting.)

I love these knot videos. Very wholesome lol. Dude it’s so important to know how to tie knots. I grew up with all kinds of projects where my dad taught me the basics of knots. Now I’m 14 yrs in the military and an aviator professionally but I boat in my free time and people are always impressed at my ability to quickly bust out the right knot at the right time. And even when you don’t have a knot in mind, if you know the basics, you can improvise. I have a boat in SF bay and find myself hosting all kinds of very successful people just by way of friendships along the way. I’m always hosting and making people comfortable and every now and then I bust out a knot to secure the boat or gear etc. and it leaves people so impressed. Our friend had a “going away” celebration and he thanked us for our friendship and commented that adventures with us were one of his best memories. And I remember I taught him to knots of the boating world at one point and that was probably his highlight of boating with us. Thanks for the video 🫡

Sir, I love your videos. Quick, simple and effective. I work in HVAC and these knots are perfect.

Thank you fellow scout.

Awesome way of easily and fast to tie a clove hitch. Great job 👍

For 20 years as an assistant scoutmaster, I had taught that method to countless scouts. Great for competitions.

Thank you so Much, learn so much, i got a Wife now.

Love your content. Warm greetings from the Netherlands. Bert.

If you do another half hitch 6 inches or more above it you could pull that pipe straight up. Like if you wanted to pull a stick of pipe up to a third floor on a job site.

Thank you for the different kinds of knots I learn.god bless you everyone 🙏❤️

Love the clove hitch, such a useful knot! Great explanation

"Behind each other" must be done in the right way ...

Use this not all the time for lowering and pulling tools into trees. Great knot, so many uses

Thank you so much 🙏

Хороший узел, отец в детстве показал и сейчас на рыбалке пользуюсь.

Nice

"Elephant ears": love it!

G'day mate, thankyou.

Thank you, very useful

I used to know about your knots and now all I know is knotheads. 🤣

Nice one! Grazie :)

from kerala 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

I love it! Excellent demonstration! Thank you-

Thank you!!

I’ve tied thousands of clove hitches, including that way. Some people can only tie them like that. Others struggle with them every single time.

As a failed boy scout, I just could now wrap my head around tying knots. Unless it was a hangman's noose around my little sister's doll.

you can also use on dock cleat

Cheers! 👍✌️🇬🇧

Me with a 2x knot Good enuff

I was hoping that you were going to swing that line around that pole in a way that you could put your hand in as it's coming around and catch the working end and then just pull your hand back out and have a clove hitch😆. I like teaching it by turning the half hitches like you did and then also showing how turning one the other way makes a girth hitch. Knots are about holding the rope in ways that make sense while tying.

i learnt that one before tying my laces

hey my patent is pending on that maneuver! nuff said!lol

I definitely have knot dyslexia. Watching how easy makes me very anxious. Ha

What is a good common use for this knot ? Anyone ? I am learning knots these days and would like to know uses for this one

My dad taught me that knot!

I feel like that rod should have a lip on the top or that knot will just slide up and there goes your yacht.

I love to learn, but some knots are so difficult and I hardly do them 💔 🙏🏼😭

Fucking amazing

That's one the classic way to tie that knot, it's not a new way.

Perfect

묶으면 굉장히 튼튼하게 묶여지는데 , 풀기도 굉장히 힘들어요. >.

Now try making a clove hitch in a carabiner. One handed.

Could you please include some other information, a small description of what a knot is best for, or where it should never be used?

Why is this damn knot so easy to forget how to tie???

GAME CHANGING

Yep. Technical term is throwing a clove hitch.

Only works if you have bar you can slide in onto of course.

Funny, I just read a whole article on knots, and why you should never use a clove hit h to tie off a boat.

What if you want to do this not, but one end of the rope has to be tight?

Elephant ears,,,, makes me hungry !!!

tie it without an opened end anchor point

Mastworp is the Dutch name for it

This wouldn't work for my most common clove hitch use case: tying a fender to a railing. What's a practical application of this?

Clove hitch or Elephant Knot. I was a scout.

👍👍🇺🇸

Scouts revealed the secrets of the clove hitch unto to me, but not this sorcery.

Thank you

🖤💚❤😎👍👍👍

no wonder I failed... I didn't mix it up 😹

For me it's Practice, Practice, Practice..... Muscle memory

Yeah, this is the easy way. Better to learn the other version in case you can’t just slip over the top.

😊😊😊😊

It's a nice knot, but if it's pulled too hard, it won't be able to untie, so you probably have to cut it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5tjaLKcxN-Ym4E.html

You must do that with one hand if you sailing

Will you show how to make a monkey's knot, please?

Мой дед называл этот узел "щëголем"

👍

That's a bondage knot 🌝

Best knot to use there would be a rolling hitch

clove hitch

I'm going to have to keep trying. This one never works for me

Nosotros le decimos nudo de cochi

Got it thanks

THANK YOU

Not sure why I find this interesting...🤪

it's the only way i know :)

You got a put a half hitch on top or you will lose your boat

That's a constrictor knot

Fancy way to tie a double half hitch....

Wouldn’t work on a live tree.

To do knot, or do not.

this is not the btk btw

This is how I start tying my shoes. Instead of keeping the loops on top of each other I pass them through

its easy

No comment

Nudo de marrano

Instructions unclear: tied myself to the dock.

There are so many ways to lay or tie the clove hitch as there are names for it. It's as popular with sailors as with bushcrafters and climbers. You can do a better version called strangle knot or constriction knot that holds even better and is as fast as this one. No magic ...

What's the use of a clove hitch? I'm not educated on these matters lol 🤷‍♂️

말뚝매기

To easy

Gotta Admit, I was a bit annoyed at first, but It Really works. 🪢🤘🏻☘️
